A few of the PTO board members attended this webinar yesterday, and wanted to share the slides, as there are good tips in there for our children/students.

Distance Learning Week of 3/30
NEW: WEEK OF MARCH 30TH LESSON PLANS
While we follow the “shelter in place” guidelines, the week of March 30th will continue as remote learning (e-learning) to provide the continuation of learning in students’ coursework in homes without interruption, with both digital and non-digital items. Please frequently check your homeroom teacher’s communication method (such as email, blog, or website) for these lesson plans.
In addition, on the Irving District 97 website families can find links to grade level information, special area assignments (PE, Art, Music, Library, & FLESS), and intervention plans.
We will keep asking students to “check in” each day on the Google Form. This isn’t to enter attendance in PowerSchool, but will give us a good idea of the number of families able to take advantage of e-learning opportunities.
NEW: K-2 NOTE REGARDING PRINTING PACKETS
Since K, 1st, and 2nd grade students do not have school issued devices, each team will have a printable version of work available at the district office. If families are interested in this packet, please let John and Susan know and we will send a total count to the district office and let you know a pick up date.
And don’t forget – the latest information can be found here: https://www.op97.org/updatecenter/index

COVID – 19 Social Services Resource Guide
This link is to the Social Service Resource Guide for community mental health and other social services serving Oak Park and River Forest residents. As we update the source document each week this link will be auto updated.
Playgrounds are closed
IMPORTANT NOTICE: By the order of the State of Illinois, all District 97 playgrounds are CLOSED until further notice.
It has come to our attention that residents are still visiting our school playgrounds. According to the state order, playgrounds pose a high risk of transmission for the COVID-19 virus. We all must do our part—please help us keep our community safe and healthy by following the state’s stay-at-home order.
Outdoor exercise like running or taking a walk is perfectly acceptable, but you should still practice social distancing by running or walking at least six feet away from other people.
We appreciate your cooperation!
